So Fed, let's go with the AAW report.

Was this your first time seeing ACH live? How's all that charisma up close & in person?

What did you think of Josh Alexander?

This was my first time seeing ACH live and yeah, it was awesome for the most part. He was only in the ring for a few minutes which was disappointing, his match was full of gimmicks and Jimmy Jacobs being a piece of shit. Was super disappointed that ACH/Cage lost in the first round so I wasn't able to see them twice.

Alexander was okay, I thought Page was the far better worker of the two, I also only saw them for a few minutes too. They didn't get a ton of time.

When I get a chance to sit down, I'll write a full report.

Did he get the Lupe Fiasco entrance that fits him like a glove?

[FedEx227]

Yes he did, it's a great touch for him. He and Cage were great in the ring together arguing the whole time, ACH called him the Pippen and told him to take note. Cage didn't save ACH on a double team because he was "taking notes". Really good job of playing off each other, it's a shame they didn't get a fluke win in the first round so I could see them more.

David Marquez announced today an alliance involving Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, West Coast Wrestling Connection from Oregon, Ultra Championship Wrestling from Utah, Future Stars of Wrestling from Nevada, Championshp Wrestling from Arizona, Traditional Championship Wrestling from Arkansas, Metro Championshp Wrestling from Kansas, River City Wrestling from Texas, New York Wrestling Connection from New York and New England Championship Wrestling. The group wall work together to trade talent and have a touring united champion. There are no dues or membership fees but all promoters must have local television to join. The group will be called the United Wrestling Network.

United Wrestling Network, using an NWA similar model, featuring multiple promoters who I know for a fact have beef with the NWA.

Interesting.

We can now officially announce that the next INSPIRE PRO event will take place on January 5, 2014 at the Marchesa Hall & Theater!

While the distance between shows here may smart a little, we promise that we’ll be making it up to you guys in SPADES by bringing a VERY SPECIAL GUEST to the great state of Texas.

PLUS, we have some exciting news regarding the EXPANSION of Inspire Pro that will be taking us outside of Austin. We’ll also be crowning our FIRST CHAMPION at the conclusion of our main event. In the meantime, we’ll be tweaking the site, releasing lots of exciting footage, and leaking card information.

SO STAY TUNED! We have some surprises that will melt faces!

January 5th, one day after Dome, i'll be dragging my feet and i'll probably fall asleep on the way home on some two lane highway and die, but i'll be there!

Very curious to see who the special guest will be. Maybe Chuckie T is coming back. I think they should do a Chuck Taylor/ACH match at some point since Taylor eliminated ACH from the tournament. Also, because it would be awesome and I want to see it. So do it!

This is head to head with NFL Playoffs, I hope the Austin hipsters blow off the football and they keep building on the crowd. Pretty sure there were 200 or a shade below last time.

Goddamn it.

11/17 Brooklyn Main Events:

17th looks pretty awesome so far, 16th meh. I guess Mochi has to break the unbeaten streak of Nese if he's getting the title shot the next night.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Gargano v. Mochizuki should b gud!!
Ric and Nese will be a flippy fucking affair.

September 6th, Ian Rotten, citing stomach cancer, cancels the Ted Petty Invitational, leaving people who bought tickets fucked, and wrestlers he booked scrambling for last minute bookings.

He released this today:

I have been given a clean bill of health with the exception of my diabetes that will become a priority as I have lost 24 lbs, which gives me a good jump start on the weight loss that I need to do to get my diabetes under control. So over the last 9 days I have been trying to get things back in order to get my life back to some normalcy. Yes, this includes running wrestling shows. So on Friday night, December 6th, IWA Mid South wrestling returns to the Colgate Gym in Clarksville, In. 7:30 belltime, for A Big Ass Christmas Bash: Past, Present and Future! Tickets for this event will be $20, $15 and $10, $7 for kids 12 and under, 2nd and 3rd row seats will both be $15 but will be marked second and third row tickets, they will not be first come, first served, if you are owed anything from the cancellled shows please do not hesitate to contact me here on FB or through my e-mail address IanRottenIWA@gmail.com or as always you are welcome to call me 815 528 0792. I will be taking requests of credit from people who are owed from the cancelled shows throughout the weekend, and then Monday tickets will go on sale. I appreciate everybodys patience and prayers throughout these trying times. I cannot tell you how much it has meant to me. Looking forward to seeing everybody December 6th, as we look to get back the great momentum we had fron the June and July shows. I cannot tell you how forward I am looking to bringing real hardcore wrestling, as only IWA can do it, back to the Kentuckiana area.

In less than two months, he was diagnosed, treated, and cured! Because that's how cancer works!

How nice of him to honor credit THOUGH MONDAY. What a guy.

Seriously, fuck this guy.

Funny thing is, Muta can be had if you want to take that bath. He works random east coast indies pretty frequently for a Japanese superstar type.

[Warner2BruceTD]

I cant get over the "make good" if you bought a TPI ticket. Hey, as long as you contact me before Monday, i'll take care of that. Unless I get cancer again.
